Finally we meet our baby! He was born 9 days before his due date, which was good! I wanted to have him before Christmas, and we did! This picture was taken one day before I had Isaac. Good thing my mom asked if she could take some pictures. Moms always know!

I started having contractions around 11:30 p.m on 12/18/10. I stayed calmed and took time. I was having them every 4 - 6 minutes. I decided to go to the hospital and have them check me. They were contractions, but was only 1cm dilated. So they decided to send me home around 5 a.m. I should have just stayed there because I went back to the hospital around 8 a.m with horrible contractions. I was dilated 4cm at 8 a.m. I got the epidural around 11 a.m and I was feeling good after that!!

My husband, and our families were there the whole time. When it was time to push, I was very nervous and excited at the same time! I pushed for 3 long hours but ended up getting a c-section. Isaac was not coming down, and his head was getting swollen from all the pushing. I admit it, I cried once my doctor told me I was having a c-section. I was scared, but that was the only way I could have Isaac. Not to mention I started feeling the contractions for a good 40 minutes right before going to the operating room. I was fully dilated and in pain!!! I had to get a double dose of the epidural.

Eri was the only one who went in with me to the operating room.I was really scared. Thank God everything went great!

Here is Eri cutting the umbilical cord. I could clearly remember Eri's face, with a huge smile, as he met Isaac for the first time.

This is one of my favorite pictures! This is when I first met my baby Isaac. He was so beautiful. My life had changed for ever. Its the greatest feeling ever!

While I stayed in the operating room, Isaac was taken to the nursery and Eri went with him. He was a healthy 7lbs. 9oz baby boy!

There, they gave him his first shoots, took weight, measurements, his first bath, footprints and visit from the family.

Our families were so excited to finally meet Isaac. He is loved by so many. My parents were so proud of me and fell in love when they met Isaac.

Isaac kind of looks like both of us!

I was hoping for Isaac to have blue/green eyes like my dad, but he didnt! Maybe my next baby will!

After a 31/2 long days stay at the hospital, we finally went home. Here is Isaac getting ready to go home. I love this cute outfit I got in my baby shower. So tiny! By the way, he only wore it once!

When I had the 3d ultrasounds done, the technician let us know Isaac had a lot of hair! Indeed, he did! Check him out!

The day we left the hospital, my sister picked me up. It was the cutest thing ever to see my niece and nephews reaction once they saw Isaac. They were both confused, didnt know what was going on. Johan just stared at Isaac the whole time. Look at his face! haha.. I love my baby Isaac!
